Implement a Cashback Mechanism in ecommerce - amazon-product-api

Here is the use case.Say I am an associate of amazon e-commerce and earn x% money for each sale of a product happening from my site.Now I want to implement a cashback mechanism such that for every product sold in amazon with my associate tag I give x/2% of the fee as a cashback to my customer.I have no idea as to how to go about solving this problem.
Here is the problem I am facing:
After every successful transaction I need an Amazon API which pings me so that I put the cash to my user's paytm wallet or something.
But I don't see the availability of any such API or maybe I am getting the whole flow wrong.
Could any of you guide me on the right track?

The process you are looking for is known as customer gratification process. If you are working in NodeJS then you can take help of paytmGratify or paytmgratify

Not Using Chrome Web Store Payment Processing as Payment Method for Chrome Extension

Hope everyone is well.
I have read the Chrome Web Store Developer Agreement which I believe has provided clarity on the matter, but just wanted to check with others who may have been down the same route...
Am I correct in thinking if building a paid Chrome Extension that you don't have to accept payment via the Chrome Web Store payment processing?
I ask, not because I want to avoid their 5% fee, but rather, I was looking at using a 'Merchant of Record' such as Paddle, 2Checkout or Fastspring as these services not only act as a payment processor but also obviously act as a reseller and in doing so take on all liability in regards charging, collecting and remitting the necessary sales tax, VAT & GST, therefore making things much easier for me in that regard.
I would greatly appreciate if anybody had any experience with this and could confirm this is possible as I currently believe it is.
Many thanks in advance.

Shippo cost on product page

we are thinking in using Shippo for our shipping but would like to have the shipping rates of Shippo at the product page and also the checkout.
How could we do that or what alternatives do we have?

You may find either of the following plugins for Magento 1.9 helpful for getting rates for multiple carriers through Shippo:

How to Reset In-App Purchase?

I am testing my in-app purchases, I uploaded my app to the windows store as beta and made an in-app product.
I tried it out and noticed a bug, I want to reset the in app purchase(it is hide ads) but I am not sure how to do this.
I want it so it is like the user account that bought the in-app never actually bought it.
I am going to assume that you are talking about a durable in app purchase, since consumable purchases can be bought as many times as one wants.
Once a durable purchase is made, it is permanent to the account. A user could call customer service to have this reversed, but it is not common (I have done this).
However it is unlikely that a rep would reverse a free in app purchase for a beta app to assist in testing.
If you would like to test your app without having to deal with those issues, Microsoft has provided guidance in how to test in app purchases.
So far as i know, if someone bought something through store, he cannot actually get the money back. If you're releasing app, you should pre-test it to be 100% sure it's working. If you're not sure how is the in-app purchase working, there is a plenty of forum threads about how to do this efficiently. Long story short, if someone already bought this in-app feature, either you cannot block it to him or refund his money.
I'd recommend testing In App Purchases through the emulator. Every time you restart the emulator it's like booting up a fresh device, so you'll be able to purchase IAPs again.

Accept chrome payments without Chrome Web Store Payments

I’m developing an app for Google Chrome and I would like to know how I can charge for it.
The problem is that I live on Brazil and on this link it tells that it doesn’t support the Chrome Web Store Payments. There is other way I can charge for that without the Chrome web store payment?
https://developers.google.com/chrome/web-store/docs/pricing#seller
My initial idea is to create a hosted app that is free (but limited) and the customer pays and can use it fully. Or the other idea is to give 30 days to try and the costumer need to pay only onetime if he likes it and can use it fully.
Do you guys know how to do that living in a country not supported by Chrome Web Store Payments?
Did you notice the text on https://developers.google.com/chrome/web-store/docs/pricing#seller which says "In the future, we expect to support sales to the following additional regions: Argentina, Brazil, India, Mexico, and Poland. Buyers in unsupported regions might be able to purchase apps, but they can't pay in their local currency and might have to pay international transaction fees."? Not sure if that means it would work for you or not.
Otherwise I'm pretty sure you're allowed to use other payment processors other than Chrome Web Store Payments (see https://ssl.gstatic.com/chrome/webstore/intl/en/dev_tos_text.html and https://ssl.gstatic.com/chrome/webstore/intl/en/program_policies.html), so you might see if other services like PayPal, Amazon payments, etc. are a better option for you.

How to interact with Amazon bought items?

I would like to synchronize our library management system (OLIB) with our Amazon's account in order to keep track of our bought eBooks. Is that even possible? The closest I've got is Amazon's Product Advertising API:
https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/detail/main.html
However it seems to work with Amazon's product list but there is no mention about how to access my account to manage my purchased Kindle eBooks.
Short answer, no. There's a slightly longer answer at a related question, https://stackoverflow.com/a/12905025/1251108.
In general Amazon does not seem interested in exposing customer purchase history.
Yes it is, but not officially. You can probably build something on top of the work I have done. So far I have exposed functionality for
listing bought content
listing personal documents (stuff you have emailed or Instapaper deliveries)
deleting items
You can find my code on GitHub - published just a few minutes ago :) Be aware that this works by emulating a browser, and as such will be very fragile to changes in the UI. But Amazon has not changed anything since I complained to them several years ago, so I would not worry too much ...
